https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100016 --- Comment #12 from Nate Graham --- Git commit 7bd7f38400b953a988a2cc942a518339e0b094a8 by Nate Graham. Committed on 23/12/2018 at 04:14. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [KRun] when asked to open link in external browser, fall back to mimeapps.list if nothing is set in kdeglobals Summary: Right now, when KRun is invoked to open an `http` or `https` link in a browser, it checks the `BrowserApplication` key in `~/.config/kdeglobals`. If nothing is set there (which is the default), then it introspects the link and figures out for itself what app to open, which is slow and can cause problems with certain links (see CCBUGs below). This patch improves the browser discovery logic by additionally looking for a default browser in `~/.config/mimeapps.list`, which is the XDG file and it's where browsers set themselves as the default. So if there is a default browser set in there, KRun will consume that information immediately instead of doing the time-consuming and possibly error-inducing link introspection round-trip. Related: bug 347870 Test Plan: 1. Open System Settings > Applications > Default Applications > Browser and click "In an application based on the contents of the url" (which is the default setting, but you might have changed it) 2. Set `BrowserApplication[$e]=` in `~/.config/kdeglobals` 3. Ensure that `~/.config/mimeapps/list` has a default browser set 4. Open any KDE app > Help menu > About KDE > Click on one of the links in the dialog Without this patch, a KRun job is spawned that shows up in the notification widget and the link may take a second or two to open in your default browser. With this patch, the link instantly opens in the browser.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100016 --- Comment #11 from Nate Graham --- Ok, what I think makes sense is to fall back on KIO when there are no web browsers installed (unlikely). When one is manually installed, it will usually set itself as the default--but in ~/.config/mimeapps.list, not ~/.config/kdeglobals. Which is fine, since changing the browser setting in componentchooser updates mimeapps.list too so that don't get out of sync. It will be up to distros to pre-populate these files with their desired default browsers, but that's already the case, so no regressions should be introduced. I'll also change the componentchooser KCM so that the default browser shown in the combobox is identical to what's listed in ~/.config/mimeapps.list if there's nothing in kdeglobals.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100016 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added CC||k...@privat.broulik.de --- Comment #10 from Nate Graham --- Following supportive comments on the mailing list, I'm preparing a patch to remove the "in an application based on the contents of the url" feature, which is confusing, imposes a speed penalty, and apparently doesn't work for certain URLs. The patch is fairly simple but there's a conceptual issue: what's a good default setting now? Right now the default setting is "let KIO figure it out", and presumably this should move to "default to browser X". But what is Browser X? Should we really be in the business of picking preference orders for 3rd-party software? What about if 1st-party software is also installed, like Falkon or Konqueror? Should we leave it up to distros to populate ~/.config/kdeglobals with a sensible default for BrowserApplication[$e]? Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100016 --- Comment #8 from Anguo --- Logically, the settings should be split into two different settings: - One setting to select the default browser. - One setting to select default action, with A) as above and B) reading: "in the default browser". Where are the relevant settings saved? I checked ~/.config/systemsettingsrc but it does not appear to be there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100016 --- Comment #7 from Anguo --- In KDE systemsettings > Personalization > Applications > Default applications > Web browser, there are two settings: A) "in an application based on the contents of the URL". B) "in the following browser". There are two problems with the interface: 1- if A) is selected, then the name of the default browser is not visible. 2- It is not possible to change the default browser and keep A) selected. To do so, the workaround is to select B), type in the browser name, save, then select A) again, save again. When coming back later to the same screen, the first problem occurs again. http://linux.overshoot.tv/wiki/default_browser_kde -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
